Tharp’s Thoughts Weekly Newsletter Archive

“The free information you folks provide on your site is absolutely priceless, and I am truly grateful. As a new trader and investor, I have learned a tremendous amount about myself through insights gained by reading the newsletters. I just wanted to take the opportunity to express my gratitude for what I consider to be one of the absolute best resources out there. Please keep it flowing!”—Lane [newsletter reader]

“I think the newsletter is extremely generous and it is a resource I utilize constantly. I have saved every single one since I first subscribed.”—From our reader survey:

“I really enjoy VTI’s newsletter, it’s certainly unique and different than all the other trading newsletters out there who just report the daily / weekly top gainers & losers etc.—they’re all like sports commentators after the game is over. You all at VTI are unique in that you write for the thinking person.” —Lourens (newsletter reader and VTI client).
